Geo-church is a form of Spiritual Orienteering. It’s fun. It’s thought provoking. It’s a whole new way of looking at

human activity in the landscape and finding God in both.

Lets do Geo-church!Newlyn to Penzance

St Peter’s Church to

Newlyn Green

• Take a minute to pray for all who worship here and for the village.

Parking in Newlyn is limited

but there are two public

cark parks at Duke St. and

the Harbour.

To visit St. Peter’s make

your way up Newlyn

Coombe. Sadly it is not

always able to be open.

The Revd. Allan Wyon

• Award-winning sculpture…..The marble sculpture of the Madonna and Child in the niche of the chancel was sculpted by Alllan Wyon and won a bronze medal at the Paris International Exhibition. There is also a crucifix carved by Alan Wyon and a terracotta relief reredos depicting the ‘Last Supper’ (after da Vinci) above the High Altar.

Contact with Italy…all down to pilchards!The Italian Tabernacle came to the church due to the pilchard trade with Italy, and is in the Lady Chapel. It depicts the Annunciation and Nativity. The altar in the St. Francis aisle contains a relic of St. Francis, again brought back from Italy after the tomb was opened with permission of the Pope in 1926. 

The Revd Allan Gairdner Wyon FRBS

RMS (1882 - 26 February 1962) was a

British die-engraver and sculptor and, in

later life, vicar in Newlyn, Cornwall.

Many of his works are memorials with a

number located in British cathedrals.

Other, more decorative, works include

the relief of a male figure representing

the East Wind on the London

Underground headquarters building at

55 Broadway above St. James's Park

Underground Station.

Newlyn Coombe to Tolcarne

• Newlyn brings in the greatest variety of high quality fish in Britain

• Many still work in Fishing and related industry

• Pray for The Fishermen's Mission• www.fishermensmission.org.uk

Make your way through

Newlyn carefully to

The Fishermen’s Memorial at

the end of Art Gallery Terrace

TR18 5PR

There are opportunities for

refreshment as you go!

The Fishwives Choir

• You can download their single at this link if you have iTunes

• https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/when-boat-comes-in-eternal/id675149831

The is choir was formed in

response to the success of

The Military Wives to raise

money for the families of

fishermen lost or injured at

sea. This is still a more

common occurrence than

many people realise.

Newlyn Green to The

Skatepark

• Newlyn Green is well know for its Charity Raft Race and the new Skatepark has brought joy to many young people in Penzance

• Think of something that you find fun and say thank you to God for it.

• Pray for young people in our community

Head along the edge of Newlyn

Green towards Wherry Town on

the SW Coast path route.

Penzance Promenade to Jubilee Pool

• In former years the Promenade was home to a Dance Hall and a Theatre and many young people met their partners here on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

• Pray for all in loving relationships and those who hope to find someone to love them.

Fancy a swim?

Give thanks for the work

of Lifeguards here and on

our beaches in summer

St. Mary’s Church, Penzance

• A guide to St. Mary’s says, “Nothing of the severe granite exterior, impressive though it is, can prepare the visitor for the light and airiness of the interior with its impressive rococo-gothic.”

• In other words it is like The Tardis! Take a look inside! Pray for those who worship here and for Ministry to the town.

If you head up the road

opposite the Jubilee Pool

heading away from the

Promenade, a stone arch

takes you into the

churchyard of St. Mary’s

Church. The church is often

open in the morning.

St. Mary’s interiorThe present Georgian church sits well with the rest of Chapel St. but there has been a church here since the 9th century. This is the earlier one.

• Unlike many churches St. Mary’s interior has changed many times

in its history. • It continues to

develop as a centre for Spirituality and the Arts and as a focus for our work with schools in the area in particular

Many people still remember this interior from before the fire in 1985. It replaced a Victorian one which had replaced the original Georgian one!

Penzance Docks• While Penzance Dock is now famous mainly

for the Ferry to the Scilly Isles but for most of its life it was a thriving commercial dock.

• Its future development remains an issue of both importance and controversy. Please pray for all involved.

• The Psalmist says, He made the storm be still and the waves of the sea were calmed.Then were they glad because they were at rest, and he brought them to the haven they desired. Ps 107:30-31

• Think of somewhere you feel safe and can relax and say thank you for it.

Head down Quay St. and turn left

Trinity House

Can you see this lighthouse marking the harbour entrance?

Opposite the Dock you are

standing near to the old

Weighbridge and the local

headquarters of Trinity

House, the government

organisation that still takes

responsibility for our

Lighthouses. Not far away

are some famous and still

important ones like the

Bishop’s Rock Lighthouse

at Land’s End (opposite)

• Think of ways in which God guides us in our lives?

• What helps us to navigate through the storms of life?

• Have you ever been like a lighthouse for someone?

Psalm 119 v105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

The Town Waterfront

• Take care as you head over The Ross Bridge and on up Wharf Rd. toward the Station and Bus Station

• Despite the dominance of the sea in your view other transport links are vital for our economic and social well-being. Buckingham Palace, Harrods and Convent Garden Flower market are all supplied from this area.

• Pray for all who work in the public transport and freight transport services on which we all depend.

Lescudjack Hill Fort and

St. John’s Church

• You may wish to end your walk now and find a café! But if you are feeling brave you could cross the main road by the station and head up Penrose Terrace, Lescudjack Road, and Castle Road to the Hill Fort. It is quite a climb, but you will get a final splendid view of Mount’s Bay back to Newlyn and Paul.

• This is the area served by the Penlee Cluster churches. You could visit St. John’s Church (by taking the unnamed road off Lescudjack Rd., which we know as Trewartha Terrace!)

• Pray for its ministry in this part of the town where many families live.

St. John’s is a fine Victorian Church with a modern outlook on life

We hope you enjoyed your experience of Geo-church. We believe in praying with our eyes open and our hands holding a

map! Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in

darkness, but will have the light of life.” Jn8:12
